  • DrFluffy - easyjet have a habit of landing early. They do overestimate their flight times so that even if they are late they are still "on time", and everyone loves it.

    Brilliant idea ;)

    Their flight times are similar to BA's though - so if Sleasy are doing it, then so is everyone else ;)

    We landed in Barcelona early because we took off early... The plane was fulled boarded in about 10-15 minutes. No waiting around for the type of !!!!!! you then see on 'Airline' complaining that the flight didn't wait for their lazy !!!! :)

  • If you are travelling together for a weekend and you are going to be slightly over the hand luggage weight by a few kilos.
    Book 2 tickets one can book no luggage hand only,and the other pay for hold luggage.
    Thats each can cary 10 kg hand and one can book in your one suitcase.

    i flew last year from blackpool to girona with ryanair and never once had a problem with them

    flew with easyjet a lot as well and never had a problem with them
  • Aghh ryanair... I think they get 3 year olds to fly there planes, there ever so small , just not a pleasant journey..

    Ryanair staff charge people when they want, a familly in front of us got charged, we were over and never got charged , I think it was whenever they felt like it/ or could be bothered.

    I would recommend easyjet out of the two.. slightly better =]

    If you take into account that you are going to have to pay to get from Girona to Barcelone, and pay for your luggage the diffence won't be that great. I must say I have flown with both Easyjet & Ryan Air - prefer Easyjet.

    Easyjet. No question.

    Easyjet fly into Barcelona airport. Get a bus outside the terminal for about 3 Euros and you will be in Barcelona within 15 minutes.

    Ryanair fly to Girona. This is about 70 miles North of Barcelona. They put on a bus, but it takes about 90 minutes to get to Barca and drops you in a street about 3/4 of a mile from the town centre. You also have to pay for this bus, which costs about 14 Euros each way.

    This is actually to allow a small to moderate headwind and account for delays at runway holding points etc. Most airlines do it
